I'm Buying Original Xbox Games In 2022...Here's Why

The original Xbox is a classic system that kicked off Microsoft's entry into video game consoles. I made a video a few months ago talking about the system, but today we're kicking off the collection with a big lot of games and talking about why I'm interested in buying more Xbox games in 2022.

Because these games just work. I’m sick of all the nonsense you have to go through today just to play a game. I bought a slim Ps2 with a selection of games and it was very refreshing to just turn it on and the game just work. Amazing

My dad bought me a Xbox at launch. Such a awesome system. It felt so futuristic. I remember the Duke controller being way to big

Over here finding OG Xbox games has actually become a bit more rare. But 360 games can be snagged up cheaply with regularity. Probably not a bad idea to build a collection now, before things inevitably explode in price in 20 years. Collecting both, myself. The OG Xbox has a surprisingly solid library and I feel it's overlooked a lot.

I recently bought an original Xbox and am collecting for it. So many memories from my teen years. I have been playing Project Gotham Racing 1&2, Amped Freestyle Snowboarding, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4, RLH Run Like Hell, and Halo 1&2. I have been enjoying playing original Xbox games over anything new as of late.

The 10 best years in video games were from 1995 (with the launch of the original Playstation) to 2005 (with the launch of the Xbox 360). I still have my original Xbox, had a lot of great times with it.

Love the old Xbox and it’s games. Enjoy watching MVG and all the home brew community stuff. It’s a cool system.

Wow my OG Xbox was stuffed into a box in the basement for 4 years and I just decided to pull it out and set it up on Friday! I was feeling really nostalgic for some Burnout 3 Takedown and it fired right up with component RGB cables. It was a blast remembering how I felt 18 years ago when I first played Burnout 3 and it’s still one of my all time favorite games, I forgot how challenging it could be too. We need a remaster!

I love the OG Xbox, been collecting for it since it launched 21 years ago - HD compatible, no memory card needed, custom soundtracks - will always be one of my favourite consoles and the HD compatibility has kept it hooked up in my main gaming set up while most other retro consoles are separate under my ‘thank god it still works’ CRT setup.

Xbox Classic is a really awesome console in 2022 👍
Main problem is I had couple of discs in my collection those where bad.
Like I wonder if most game still work over 10 years ? 😳

The original forza motorsport towards the end of the og xbox's life was mind blowing.
I don't know how I would feel about these games now but I have fond memories of escaping my crappy reality in my teenage years to the emersion I got from xbox and gamecube games.
Love the channel mate, thanks for reminding me of the good old days 😁

Have to say, I think the graphics on the OG Xbox hold up really well today. Really putting me in the mood to grab mine from my storage unit. Remember just being amazed that you could rip CDs to the hard drive and play in games. Just blew me away.

Original Xbox was my favorite system to collect for, and I had a pretty epic collection. But a tornado wiped it all out last year. All tallied, I lost about double my insurance limit. That's counting all systems and games, at market value as of time of loss. Was floored and devastated to see what years of collecting added up to, but it's definitely a testament to the financial viability of just collecting the games you love, as you can afford, over decades. It's not money wasted... unless a natural disaster makes it all go poof in an instant.

I remember how big of an upgrade 720p was over 480p. It seems silly now, but back then it was night and day.

I fell in love with the OG Xbox! So amazing machine

I’ve actively been collecting for The original Xbox for about 2 years now. Original Xbox was the first console I bought with my own money when I was younger and my current collection is a little over 25% of the NTSC games!

Great video. Growing my collection as well. The original xbox and the 360 were amazing. So many creative games.

[fordxbgtfalcon]

Wow, its crazy you’re doing this. I just started collecting again for original Xbox as well. There’s a tonne of great games for the console.

I work in recycling, mainly paper, but we do take electronic waste as well. Well someone brought a box of what we thought was just books. Charged her 10$ to drop it off, it had like 40 PS2 games. All complete, a couple even sealed still! Insane. My boss is reselling what was valuable and I got to keep the rest! Love when this happens 😂

If you’re interested, Spyro : A Hero’s Tail (on PS2, GameCube, and the original Xbox… I personally have the PS2 version) is one of my favorite games!
